Altered Chipboard Container
Over the weekend I went to an open house held by my Close To My Heart consultant. I made a couple of cards and she had items available for purchase. One of the items I purchased is this kraft cylinder container. It is approximately 2-3/4" wide by 6" tall. I wrapped the container in retired Stampin' Up DSP and pretty ribbon. I could have altered the container in no time at all, but I "needed" to have a rosette on the lid. I had to guess at how to size a rosette on the Explore and after one bad guess, I was able to make this one. The container is nice and sturdy and will look pretty under the tree or even as a little decoration in a little nook or on a little table. IT is time for me to get serious about Thanksgiving. Today and tomorrow I have to stay away from my scrap room so I don't get sucked in and create instead of clean and prepare!! Have a great day and be careful if you are out and about when the snow begins here.
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
